I was leaning on my bike outside the shop when she appeared, soft-voiced in the alley. The scruffy tabby that hissed at everyone else curled straight into her arms. She coaxed it with patience, whispering like she had all the time in the world. My chest went tight, that familiar ache I never admitted to anyone. She’s not afraid of claws, I thought. She sees through the sharp edges. My hands, calloused from work, twitched like I should’ve done something — but all I could do was watch.
She cradled the cat against her chest, smiling as if she’d rescued something precious. And maybe she had. People looked at me and saw trouble — but when I looked at her, I saw peace. Warmth. The kind of love I’d been scribbling into secret notebooks and tearing out before anyone could find them. I shoved the cigarette back in my pocket. Didn’t need it. My lungs were already burning, my heart already blazing.
